Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 72 New Year and a Warm Moment

Da Yanming returned to Hong Kong and stayed there for three days before rushing back to Japan.

He was worried about that group of people. If he wasn't there to keep them in check, they might cause trouble.

Fang Hexuan also invited him and Jiu Wenlong's family to participate in the company's New Year's party at the end of the year.

As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere in Hong Kong becomes stronger.

But Hong Kong people discovered that DreamWorks was up to something again.

In order to make the second movie "The Laughing Man" a big hit in the New Year,

DreamWorks is still actively promoting the new concept of "Lunar New Year Box Office" on television, radio, newspapers, and car radios.

In conjunction with the film's promotional activities, many department stores, supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants are offering discounts during Christmas.
DreamWorks still used the same trick as last time - bundling marketing.

The scale of this event is even greater than the one in October.

In addition, students have two consecutive holidays, Christmas and New Year's Day.

DreamWorks also launched a half-price student ticket promotion.
Actively encourage them to enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Hong Kong film companies have not yet fully digested DreamWorks's last promotional approach.
I have to watch this company continue to play tricks.
Continue to occupy the box office space that originally belonged to them.

Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are both happy and sad.

It suffered a crushing defeat at the box office against DreamWorks, but still took advantage of DreamWorks in terms of distribution of the film's release profits.

Zou Wenhuai felt this complex emotion more than his sixth uncle.

"The Laughing Man" will be released nationwide from Christmas Eve on the 24th.
In three days and one night, the box office exceeded 220 million Hong Kong dollars.

It's not as popular as Drunken Master, but it's still a big hit.

Influenced by this good news, DreamWorks Entertainment's stock price continued to rise.
It reached 9.72 Hong Kong dollars,

Breaking through the ten major barriers is just around the corner.

······
July 12st this day,
Wanda Real Estate, DreamWorks Pictures and Pokémon, three companies under Fang Hexuan, held a lively annual meeting at Jumbo Floating Restaurant.

In addition to the company's employees, some friendly partners with whom we have cooperated were also invited to participate.

The three companies together have nearly 300 employees, with the largest number being Pokémon, which has nearly 200 workers.

Fang Hexuan did not make any distinction in treatment. Everyone sat together to have a meal and have some fun, so they didn't feel it was a loss of status.

Fang Hexuan took out 200 million Hong Kong dollars for this annual meeting, of which 150 million was as bonus.

In order to create an atmosphere, Fang Hexuan asked Jiu Wenlong to take several employees to HSBC to withdraw cash.

The largest denomination of these cash notes is 100 Hong Kong dollars, and the others are 50 and 20 Hong Kong dollars.

There were one hundred bills in a bundle, and all the cash was neatly stacked in the center of the banquet hall.

This is the first time I have seen such a scene in Hong Kong.

The friendly merchants who attended the banquet exclaimed in admiration.

However, the next day was New Year's Day.
The news that Fang Hexuan held an annual meeting for his employees and gave away millions in bonuses was reported in several newspapers.

In addition to being surprised again at Fang Hexuan's wealth, Hong Kong people also began to yearn to work in his company.

Even Chow Selina and Jackie Chan had to admit in interviews,

Their boss may be the most generous and least afraid of spending money person in Hong Kong.

1979 1 Month 1 Day.

Fang Hexuan's company is basically closed today.

He also took advantage of this rare opportunity to spend the Gregorian New Year with his mother and sister.

Fang Luoyi has been attending St. Stephen's Girls' School for half a year.
The food and accommodation are much better than before, and I have changed to a better school.
The little girl is becoming more and more beautiful and charming.

Thanks to her brother's fame, she is also a celebrity in school.

However, she refused to admit that the girls surrounding her wanted to find out about her brother Fang Hexuan.

On this day, I accompanied Fang Luoyi to play the exciting rides in Ocean Park in the morning, and in the afternoon I accompanied my mother to Wong Tai Sin Temple, Tin Hau Temple, and Po Lin Monastery to fulfill a vow.

A woman who is not even 40 years old is urging him to get married and have children soon.
Fang Hexuan was so annoyed that he didn't want to say a word to his mother anymore.

But Fang Hexuan did not show weakness.
He asked Lu Qiaoling when she would marry You Bingwen?
This extremely destructive question immediately shut up my mother.

It made her face turn red with shame.

In the evening, he called You Bingwen, and the four of them had a "reunion" dinner together at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

At the dinner table, Fang Hexuan bluntly expressed his hope that his mother and You Bingwen could get married this year.
Try to end being single before you turn 40.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them glanced at each other, lowered their heads in embarrassment and kept silent.

Fang Hexuan was speechless. Why did he feel like he had become a matchmaker bringing together new people?

He is not conservative at all. My mother has never remarried since 62.
She has worked hard to raise him and his sister, and has suffered a lot. She needs someone who understands her and can accompany her.

As children, no matter how filial we are, we cannot always be with our parents.

He had observed You Bingwen for so long and had to admit that his mother had good taste.

Even if their married life is not satisfactory in the future,

With him as her son, how could Lu Qiaoling suffer any harm?

In the evening, a family of three was watching TV in the living room.

Lu Qiaoling told Fang Hexuan a wish that had been buried in her heart for a long time -

She wanted to go back to the mainland, visit her hometown of Ningbo, and see her family.

After listening to this, Fang Hexuan was silent for a while, then nodded:
"Mom, I will try my best to help you realize this wish and go back to Ningbo before you get married!"

"What nonsense? Don't confuse the two things."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more, lest you blush again."

"Brother, what should I do after Mom and Uncle Wen get married?"

"You will live in the school until you graduate from high school!"

"Ah? That's terrible!"

"Don't tease your sister, Yiyi, mom will always be with you!"

"Well, mom, you are so nice. Unlike my brother, he teases me all day long!"

"Why do you, little brat, think about so many messed up things every day? Is this something you should worry about?"

"Tsk, why shouldn't I care? I care about where I will live in the future, isn't that important?"

"You deserve to be sent to an orphanage. Look at your chattering mouth. It's so noisy."

"Humph! You big bad guy! My classmates are so blind. They like you even though you are so bad!"

"What are you mumbling about again? Are you saying something bad about me?"

"No way! I think being your sister is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes."

"Haha, you are wise!"

"Can you two stop making trouble? You are not children anymore."

"Mom, I'm still a child, and my brother is the childish one. He's already grown up."

"Oh, I was planning to give you a big red envelope for the New Year this year, but it seems that you don't want it."

"Ah, there are red envelopes? I want them, I want them, brother, you are the best brother in the world."

"not enough!"

"Brother, you are the most handsome, ten thousand times more handsome than Fu Sheng and Ti Lung!"

"Haha, that's more like it. There will be red envelopes, big ones!"
